 Klinkhammer, 28, has three goals in 19 games this season. Last
season he set career highs with 11 goals and 20 points in 72 games.
Injuries have left the Penguins thin at forward. Pascal Dupuis
(blood clot), Chris Kunitz (foot) and Beau Bennett (lower body) are
out, and Patric Hornqvist left Thursday’s game against the Vancouver
Canucks in the second period after a hit by the Canucks' Ryan
Stanton.
In 129 games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Ottawa Senators and
Coyotes, Klinkhammer has 19 goals and 36 points.
Samuelsson, 23, was a second-round pick by the Penguins in the 2009
draft. He made his NHL debut last season, with five shots on goal
and a minus-1 rating in five games.

The Arizona Coyotes placed center Kyle Chipchura on waivers.

The Coyotes also recalled defenseman Andrew Campbell and forward
Jordan Martinook and assigned defenseman David Schlemko to the
Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League.
